CLERK BACON'S ACCOUNTS.
Premature Democratic Exultation-Discrep-
aDcies Explained.

Premature Democratic Observation-Disclosures
aDcies Explained.
Washington Special.
It is not improbable that a good deal of Demo
cratic exultaton over the discovery of a short
age in the accounts of Financial Clerk Bacon Of
the Patent Office was worse than premature.
Repeated efforts to induce Secretary Lamar and
Commissioner Hall to allow the publication of
a list of the of officials and clerks to
whom advances made by Mr.. Bacon,
have been unsuccessful, because such a pubica-
ton would show that such advances
made to Democratic clerks and officials from
time to time during the past two years, with the
knowledge of Mr.. Bacon's official superiors. Il
may be rememb ered that an in ventory
of the contents of Mr. Bacons safe had been
made by committee after his death, a statement
published to the effect that he was de-
faulter to large amount One of the members
of the invest gating committee was Chief Clerk
Duryee of the Patent Office. MIR. Duryee has
since resigned. and the fact seems to have I'M
locked his lips To Star reporter to-day he
said:
THE published reports of DR.. Bacon's ac-
counts AT the Patent Office have been misleading
The committee appointed by the Secretary OF
the Interior mede inventory of the confer Is of
the safe used by Mr. Bacon, but did not examine
his books. This examination should have been
made before announcing the result of the in
ventory, and until the footings of the Journal
kept by DR.. Bacon, showing the daily receipts of
the fees, verified and the total am count of
money received by him during his eleven and
one half years of service tabout s11, 900. 000) def
nitely determined and compared with the aggre-
gate of his deposits, it is impossible to say just
how his stood at the time of his decease
In my judgment, and I not alone this.
such examination will reveal that Mr.. Bacon
was not in arrears The practice of making ad-
vances to employees of the office had existed dur
ing his entire term, and it was with the knowl-
edge of his superiors."
The whole amount of cash reported short was
accounted for by due bills and other papers
found in the Office. and the whole amount has, it
is asserted, been paid by the persons owing it.
As to the remaining 81 goo, Mr. Duryee says
that it is more than probabl that this discrep-
ancy-an inconsiderable sum compared with the
$11. 900. 600 handled by DR.. Bacon-wil be shown,
when the books are revised, to be due to clerical
errors, and that errors to such amount in
series of accounts covering sc, 900 pages which
have not been examined for eight years, would
not be unexpected or remarkable.

and the roof bad been partially
consumed. The building, three story

Manufacturing Company and occupied
by them as tin shop and finishing
rooms. The top floor was the
japanning room, and here some
twenty-five girls found employment.
The second floor was known as the
finishing department, and on 1t were

The fire was hot one and was viewed
by several Thousand people. At one
time it seemed that ths flames would

vented the flames from crossing over.
